The Hiking

There are many great hikes here. Take this hike in Faial da Terra as an example.

The Ocean

When you are on an Atlantic Ocean island, thousands of miles from anything, the ocean is a focal point of your life. Whether it is simply being aware of the sights, sounds, smells and ocean breeze, or if you go swimming, sailing, surfing, fishing, diving or whale watching.

If you haven't yet, read about a great day of Sailing in the Azores. We repeated this experience in 2011 and saw an unbelievable number of dolphins, one of which I captured in the picture above.
